Changing cards in a reader (next step??)
Aloha I need to know where to go next. I have originated two previous threads regarding this problem. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-June/050819.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-July/053047.html I have followed all suggestions and responded with the output of my attemps. The problem remains unresolved. I have also requested that if anyone has this working *properly* to respond but no one did. Can I *assume* that this is a bug? Is the next step filing a bug report? Being a newbie, can someone steer me in the right direction to file a bug report. Is there something else I should do? Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have also requested that if anyone has this working *properly* to respond but no one did. Why not install /usr/ports/emulators/mtools/ and configure O: drive (O for Olympus) as /dev/da2s1 ? Then one does not have to be root to insert or remove the card. Just access the card with mdir, mcopy, mdel, mcd, etc ... Yank the card out any time you are not using it and insert another just as one does with tar and tapes. I'm thinking your issue is probably within mount_msdos. Mtools implement the DOS filesystem internally. Each M-command issued starts at the start of media, finds the directory and volume data, then goes to the appropriate file(s), completely from scratch each time. So there is no mount. It does tend to remember current directory. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The results were less than satisfactory. The problem is when I am changing to a different size card. I start with a 128MB SmartMedia card in the reader. hp# mdir O:/dcim/100olymp Volume in drive O has no label Directory for O:/dcim/100olymp .DIR 05-30-2004 15:59 ..
